  1. At What Level of Savings Would You Do Without a Fold Down Windshield?

    I've been JEEPING for over 65 years and I've never had any desire to "drop the windshield"---so I couldn't care less if JEEP offers the "WINDSHIELD DROP" AS an option--- You don't pay $60K for an offroad vehiicle to bring "TEETH BUGS" home as TROPHIES ! I've been in the SIERRAS and the NEVADA...

  6. Wonder why Jeep doesn’t make a “Utility” model?

    Well, mine is PRETTY BASIC and UTILITY-- Roll up windows/individual door locks/BASIC MEDIA/there are NO BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE FOB, everything is KEY LOCK ! Now I don't have the "START/STOP SYSTEM, so this ol GLADIATOR is pretty simple/w the tires/CB ! Judging by past history--about the only...
  7. Ground tent vs sleeping in jeep

    I've been "TENT" camping since the 1950's--always in the SIERRAS--JEEPS and TRAILERS-UP UNTILL ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO--we met two Black bears on two separate occasions and both were a little upset because we had LOCKED all the food away ! They both BUMPED the tents "AT 2AM" no further damage, but...
  8. A few JL questions

    The cheapest model you can (basic)get, will still climb trees and drive in 4 ft of snow/w the right tires-- Your best deal will be your prescribed budget and your families comfort on a normal off-road/on-road trip I personally would stay with the 3.6 v6--tried/proved /dependable/w decent...

    Heh, Heh-JEEPERS are like teenage girls--CONSTANT CHANGES--I went from a JKR to RAM (HEMI) to GRAND CHEROKEE (Trailhawk)HEMI TO JL TO JLU TO GLADIATOR and I'm happier than a boy getting a RED WAGON for XMAS- This GLADIATOR is a total pleasure to drive F-congrats on your change...

    Yeah--position is subject to EVERYTHING--,BUT If you put the HILIFT VINYL COVER on it--NO PROBLEMO! JIMBO
  19. Jeep JL Hi-Lift Mount

    You don't really need any MOUNT for keeping the HiLift under the rear seat-- Just remove the HiLift FOOT and put the HiLift under the rear seat-VELCRO to a couple of the legs and no rattle Be sure and keep the SEPERATE FOOT/COTTER KEY handy for possible use ! I carried mine like that for 9...
